The following is the report from Malaysiakini on Azlina's case: No joy for Lina May 30, 07 11:18am
Lina Joy's long wait for her conversion to Christianity to be recognised by law is over - the Federal Court ruled today that she remains a Muslim and her religious status will not be removed from her identity card. Delivering the judgment to a packed gallery this morning in Putrajaya, Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim ruled that jurisdiction remains with the Syariah court. A large section of the 300-strong crowd waiting outside recited the tahlil or read the Quran while waiting for the decision. When the news reached them, they shouted Allahuakbar - their reaction resounded through the Palace of Justice. At the time of writing, Justice Richard Malanjun was reading his judgement, with Justice Alauddin Mohd Sheriff to follow. However, the chief justice has already stated that he concurs with the majority decision. Born to Malay parents, Joy, 43, whose Muslim name was Azlina Jailani, converted to Christianity in 1998. ///// JIMedia: Memurnikan Tanggapan Umum Melalui Penyebaran Ilmu dan Maklumat ////////////////////////////////// Nota: Kandungan mel ini tidak menggambarkan pendirian rasmi Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) melainkan yang dinyatakan sedemikian.
